Yes! Yes! Yes! Not only did I get a call from my house siding guy who actually will be starting EARLY (never happens with contractors) but now I have a reader on order!!!
I also ordered the cradle.
Regular shipping, of course - for the price of the speedy shipping I could buy about 20 books!
I did note that the page says "Shipping on or before October 31st".
OTOH, my order email said " Estimated Ship Date: 09/28/2006"
OK, given that the ebook store is not up yet, which one of those is just boilerplate?
This has been a long wait - I hope it is worth it!!
